“While I can’t talk about how we detected it, I can tell you that things worked the way they were supposed to,” the second official said, stating that the Russian submarine “poses no threat whatsoever.”

Y'all understand that an EMP to New York right now would most likely cripple out economy fatally, right?

"What you have just said, is the most insanely idiotic thing I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul."

The Russians are beginning to wake up to that new reality, and they don't like it.a)Odd comment more patriotic hatred than any specific detail.

Unfortunately for them, there isn't a damned thing they can do about it now.a)Unfortunately for you, there is every dam nthing they can do about it and you dont like it :)

It's too bad that the Russians are unaware that the USA can eliminate the threat of ALL Russian nuclear weapons, and can penetrate their air defenses.a) Very doubtful since you cant even win a war in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

In other words, if the Russians ever get stupid, the USA can annihilate them without any retaliation from Russia.a)The USA has been stupid for decades your still alive, count your blessings.

All of those secret space missions paid off!a) Yes and Russia have just stood by and not done anything. LOL. My My your very guarded on Railgun and Laser tech. tut tut.

In the end, it's purely defensive, unless they get all stupid, then, well... It wont be that secret anymore.a) refer to earlier comment.

Russia would be better off to stand down, shift to a more open capitalist economy and rise above all of it.a) Hilarious, you obviously think you won the second world war too huh.

Too bad it is still dominated by old Soviet era relics from the past. Dangerous people, like Putin and others...a) no lol, get a passport. See for yourself. Russia is not the CCCP.

We wouldn't have had to spend those trillions and hide it to build and implement superior technologies.a) You didnt spend trillions of dollars lol. The banks took it from you. "Wheres the Gold"?. Your broke.

Putin's weaknesses have always been stronger than his strengths. a) Please do underestimate Putin. Will be your last move.

Our strength is hidden in Russia's illusion of our weakness. a) Your illusion is you have no strength. Thats what you mean.Has been for a few years now. :Pa)I agree, the bullshit is now out . Run!You no longer have mutually assured destruction, only the illusion that we do.a) Oh yes you do ;) and Grow the fuck up patriot, that flag is gonna butn around you in your stupidity.For now, that will do.a)Indeed your are done.

A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine cruised within 200 miles of the East Coast recently in the latest sign Russia is continuing to flex its naval and aerial power against the United States, defense officials said.

The submarine was identified by its NATO designation as a Russian Seirra-2 class submarine believed to be based with Russia’s Northern Fleet. It was the first time that class of Russian submarine had been detected near a U.S. coast, said officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of anti-submarine warfare efforts.

One defense official said the submarine was believed to have been conducting anti-submarine warfare efforts against U.S. ballistic and cruise missile submarines based at Kings Bay, Georgia.

Keep thinking that way, it is always good when someone underestimates the competition.

Maybe so however I was in the Military when the Nato defeated the USSR during the cold war and the first Gulf war. I am not as cynical as you because I still believe this country can get back on the right track. I hold no animosity towards Russia or Iraq and see them as possible allies one day.

Russia has more freedom now than it has had in at least 100 years or more, I think our Russian friends here would agree. Iraq still needs many years to recover however i am confident it can happen.
